God is the refuge of his saints

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #51 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints When storms of sharp distress invade: Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid. 2 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; In sacred peace our souls abide; While every nation, every shore, Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 3 There is a stream whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God, Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, And watering our divine abode. 4 That sacred stream, thy holy word, Our grief allays, our fear controls; Sweet peace thy promises afford, And give new strength to fainting souls. 5 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, Secure against a threatening hour; Nor can her firm foundation move, Built on his truth, and armed with power.

Lord of all being, throned afar

Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Hymnal: SDAH1886 #52 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord of all being, throned afar, Thy glory flames from sun and star, Center and soul of every sphere, Yet to each loving heart how near! 2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray Sheds on our path the glow of day; Star of our hope, thy softened light Cheers the long watches of the night. 3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn, Our noontide is thy gracious dawn, Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign, All, save the clouds of sin, are thine! 4 Lord of all life, below, above, Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Before thy ever-blazing throne We ask no luster of our own. 5 Grant us thy truth to make us free, And kindling hearts that burn for thee, Till all thy living altars claim One holy light, one heavenly flame!

Lord! thou hast searched and seen me through

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #53 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord! thou hast searched and seen me through; Thine eye commands with piercing view My rising and my resting hours, My heart and flesh, with all their powers. 2 My thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my God distinctly known; He knows the words I mean to speak Ere from my opening lips they break. 3 Within thy circling power I stand; On every side I find thy hand; Awake, asleep, at home, abroad, I am surrounded still with God. 4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great! What large extent! what lofty hight! My soul, with all the powers I boast, Is in the boundless prospect lost. 5 O, may these thoughts possess my breast Where'er I rove, where'er I rest; Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there!

Eternal depth of love divine

Author: Nicolaus L. Zinzendorf Hymnal: SDAH1886 #54 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Eternal depth of love divine, In Jesus, God with us, displayed, How bright thy beaming glories shine! How wide thy healing streams are spread, How wide thy healing streams are spread! 2 With whom dost thou delight to dwell? Sinners, a vile and thankless race! O God, what tongue aright can tell How vast thy love, how great thy grace? 3 The dictates of thy sovereign will With joy our grateful hearts receive; All thy delight in us fulfill: Lo, all we are, to thee we give. 4 To thy sure love, thy tender care, Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign; O, fix thy sacred presence there, And seal the abode forever thine!

O God, how great thy glory is!

Author: Ernest Lange Hymnal: SDAH1886 #55 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O God, how great thy glory is! Thy wondrous ways, O who can know? O hight immense! what words suffice Thy countless attributes to show? 2 Greatness unspeakable is thine, Greatness whose undimished ray, When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine, When earth and heaven are fled away. 3 Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord, Essential life's unbounded sea, What lives and moves, lives by thy word; It lives, and moves, and is, from thee. 4 High is thy power above all hight; Whate'er thy will decrees, is done; Thy wisdom, equal to thy might, Only to thee, O God, is known!

Ere mountains reared their forms sublime

Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: SDAH1886 #56 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Ere mountains reared their forms sublime, Or heaven and earth in order stood, Before the birth of ancient time, From everlasting thou art God. 2 A thousand ages, in their flight, With thee are as a fleeting day; Past, present, future, to thy sight At once their various scenes display. 3 But our brief life's a shadowy dream, A passing thought, that soon is o'er, That fades with morning's earliest beam, And fills the musing mind no more. 4 To us, O Lord, the wisdom give, Each passing moment so to spend That we at length with thee may live, Where life and bliss shall never end.

God is our refuge and defense

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: SDAH1886 #57 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and defense, In trouble our unfailing aid; Secure in his omnipotence, What foe can make our souls afraid? 2 Yea, though the earth's foundations rock, And mountains down the gulf be hurled, His people smile amid the shock; They look beyond this transient world. 3 Built by the word of his command, Ten thousand worlds on nothing rest; All living things are in his hand, And he who trusts his word is blest.

God of my life, whose gracious power

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: SDAH1886 #58 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power Through varied scenes my soul hath led, Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head, 2 In all my ways thy hand I own, Thy ruling providence I see; Assist me still my course to run, And still direct my paths to thee. 3 How do thy mercies close me round! Forever be thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant of a gracious Lord. 4 I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou O God, my wisdom art: I ever into danger run, But thou art greater than my heart. 5 I rest beneath thy kindly shade; My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.

God is the name my soul adores

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #59 (1886) Lyrics: 1 God is the name my soul adores, Almighty, high, Eternal One: Both heaven and earth, with all their powers, Proclaim the Infinite Unknown. 2 Thy voice ordained the rolling spheres, And bade the countless planets shine; But nothing like thyself appears Through all these spacious works of thine. 3 Still restless nature dies and grows, From change to change thy creatures run; Thy being no succession knows, And all thy vast designs are one. 4 A glance of thine runs through the globe, Rules the bright worlds, and moves their frame; Of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe; Thy ministers are living flame. 5 How shall polluted mortals dare To sing thy glory or thy grace? Beneath thy feet we lie afar, And see but shadows of thy face. 6 Who can behold the blazing light? Who can approach consuming flame? None but thy wisdom knows thy might; None but thy word can speak thy name. Topics: Worship Attributes and Providence of God Tune Title: UXBRIDGE

Holy as thou, O Lord, is none

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: SDAH1886 #60 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Holy as thou, O Lord, is none; Thy holiness is all thine own; A drop of that unbounded sea Is ours, a drop derived from thee. 2 And when thy purity we share, Thy brightest glory we declare; And, humbled into nothing, own, Holy and pure is God alone. 3 Sole, self-existing God and Lord, By all thy heavenly hosts adored, Let all on earth bow down to thee, And own thy peerless majesty. 4 Thy power unequaled we confess, Established on the rock of peace; The rock that never shall remove, The rock of pure, almighty love.
